07/31/2006 - Every year I have asked the Streamwood
Fest People to carry a Lemon-Lime Soda. You are required to buy tickets, so
the Fest controls who sells of all the Sodas. In this case it would have to be "Sierra Mist" Soda, since
they serve only Pepsi Products. All they want serve is Pepsi's and Mountain Dew. Their reasoning is that "Sierra
Mist" won't sell. "Just drink Dew".
I hope you are aware that "Dew" is loaded with caffine even more than Pepsi and is orange juice based.
These are items that really give me digestive problems. So to get the Streamwood
Fest People to see the errors of thier ways and to prove that my web site can
prove useful to them, I told them I was going "air the problem on my web site."So I'm asking the following
question.
So If given the chioce, would you like a "Dew" over a Lemon-Lime
Soda?

to Blarney Island at the top of the hour. If you are at Blarney Island the shuttle normally departs to return to

Septemberfest is a unique event as it honors Bloomingdale’s past, present and future. The best demonstration
of our commitment to the future is the Bloomingdale Scholarship Competition. Started in 1987 with a single award
of $400.00 to a young Bloomingdale resident, the program has grown to six and eight scholarships per year. It is
open to both young men and women between the ages of 16 and 20 who are residents of incorporated Bloomingdale.
This is a way for you, as a business, to show that these young adults are important and deserve support. Donations
to the Joe Draghi Scholarship Fund would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for considering this request. http://www.vil.bloomingdale.il.us/septemberfest |
